“If they object so passionately to “socialized health,” why don’t they block their 911 service to socialized police and fire services, disconnect themselves from socialized sewers and avoid socialized interstate highways?”

We’ve mentioned in the past an animus toward the Republican wingut Congressman from Detroit’s western suburbs, Thaddeus McCotter.
While he touts his supposed deficit hawkishness (to various degrees of failure), his new deficit building initiative is “HAPPY.”
“HAPPY” is proposed to be an annual $3,500 per household deduction for pet expenses.
Now, I love my pets to an extreme, and I certainly respect understand pandering for votes on the backs of a huge special interest group.
However, this kind of political hypocrisy is just . . . a bitch. Get it? Ahhh-hahahahahaha.
Cheers to NPR’s ATC for the lead. Thad’s interview pandering follows:

The phrase originally meant this.
And it has now begun to mean this.
(An all-too-rare Detroit Lions’ example can be found here).
To my fellow Americans — especially on the East Coast, and super especially, Italians on the East Coast (though this suggests you might want to re-think that) — Happy Columbus Day.
To my fellow North Americans my near and dear Canadian friends, Happy Thanksgiving.
Alas, without access to Canuckian cable, we in The D can no longer watch the traditional holiday CFL doubleheader games.
So, back to work, eh?

It sucks, but like all loves, the rewards were absolutely worth the costs and unavoidable risk of inevitable separation.
I hope the start of Buster’s time off this mortal coil is an entertaining as this take from “All Dogs Go To Heaven.”
